L2 F D2 L' B2 F2 L2 U2 R F2 R2 U2 R' B D' U2 R2 U R B'

13.94 3x3 single when I average 26
Insane scramble, really should have got faster but I got nervous and messed up the last pair
Scrambled with green front, white on top
White cross facing red, yellow top (ofc)

B' F L F // cross
y R U R' U F U' F' // first pair
U' L U' L' // second pair
U R' U2 R2 U R' // third pair
y2 U2 R U' R' // last pair
OLL skip
J perm

39 moves (HTM)
2.79 TPS
This could have been a lot faster

I just got this simple 4 mover, but I didn't know that so the solve could have been a sub 1 if I was better at 2x2

I DNFed this scramble the first time so I tried it again and got 7.343.

A much better clock solver than I could probably do pretty good on this scramble:
UR4- DR5+ DL5- UL5- U4- R5+ D6+ L3- ALL1- y2 U5- R3+ D1+ L3+ ALL4+ UL

Spoiler: My Solution

y2 // Inspection
DR6+ UL1+ ALL1- // First cross
y2 UR3- DL1- UL4- L2+ // Second cross
(not sure how to notate this part)
UL/UR/DR1+ UR/DR/DL5+ ALL6+ // Corners

F2 R' F D2 F2 U2 L2 F' D2 B' U2 F D F U2 R D B2 R2

1 move 2x2x2 that can be a 4 move XXCross that can also be a 13STM F2L with the default OLL giving a U-Perm finish. Best scramble of all time?

Spoiler: 32STM CFOP solution

I'm an idiot and did L R' F R', which only made a single XCross. I still got a sub-10 on it though which is incredible for me

 

[NmeCuber]

So this is more on the weird side... So basically my skewb goal was a sub-7 single and then I do a small session and within eleven solves I break my pb four times. 6.618 to 6.574 to 5.207 to 5.046

Kinda messed this up lol. Probably really easy for Roux solvers.

The OOPS method?

 

[lucazdoescubingstuff]

The OOPS method?

EXACTLY

 

[NmeCuber]

Got this scramble on 2x2: U R' U R' U R' U R2
Almost the same thing repeated lol. Nothing lucky about it sadly

 

[Noob's Cubes]

The OOPS method?

Kind of but not really.

 

[NmeCuber]

Kind of but not really.

But it's OLL, OLL, PLL SKIP the first letters spell oops

 

[Noob's Cubes]

Yeah but the OOPS has a double meaning. It's the acronym, but it's also because you say oops when you mess up on OLL. This wasn't a mess up, I just didn't know the OLL

I literally said the oops METHOD

 

[Noob's Cubes]

wdym?

 

[NmeCuber]

Watch the j perm short
